Not a Marmon. This car was named after its engine (also the name of a state)

A US state?

Is it a Stutz/Wisconsin?

Yes! 1922 Wisconsin Special to unseat USAC champion Tommy Milton. The car was named after its 836 cubic inch Wisconsin Airplane 6-cylinder motor, which was directly connected to the rear wheels. The car was 192 inches (488 cm) long, 20 inches wide, and 250 horsepower.

Following the example of the 1932 Alvis Prince described elsewhere in these pages. And you thought I was KIDDING!  HAH!?!?!>? ;D
